Project will enhance flow of traffic by providing necessary surveillance of traffic conditions along the roadway, and provide motorists with information for alerts, incidents and evacuations.

Body
Background Information:
The project is part of an overall implementation of the Countywide ATMS/ITS effort that was adopted and funded by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) utilizing the Ninth Cent Local Option Fuel Tax (LOFT) in 2006.
Section 14 of the Agreement requires the County to indemnify and hold harmless the FDOT to the extent permitted by law as limited by and pursuant to the provisions of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes. County Resolution No. 06-70 prohibits the County from indemnifying others under most circumstances. FDOT will not modify the indemnification section of this Agreement as this is a standard requirement in their agreements. Staff and the County Attorney agree that the FDOT indemnification requirement is within an acceptable level of risk.
Fiscal Impact:
The County match for this Agreement is budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program, under project 004541A North County ATMS Phase 2 funded by Local Option Fuel Tax (LOFT) at seventy-eight percent (78%). The FDOT CIGP participation provides the remaining funding twenty-two percent (22%). If the project is determined eligible for funding through ARPA, funds from projects that may not make the ARPA deadline requirements may be transferred to this project to replace or add to the LOFT funding.
LOFT: $1,771,345.00
